Quite fruity, strawberry, cherry, raspberry. Balanced acidity. Gentle 2019 @3800, Jess, 230701 — 2 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1975

Last of the ‘75s. Mid-shoulder. Mature but not over the hill. Well, maybe starting a gentle decline. Another triumph for the Durand corkscrew. — 4 years ago

Crémant Demi-Sec Flora Blend 2014

Cremant has tropical and berry fruit with biscuit aromas. The palate shows apricot, pear and mango flavors, somebody yeasty notes with rich fresh texture. Tangy lingering finish, champagne like, refreshing ending with gentle sweetness. Consistent quality. Tasting Sample. — 5 years ago

Redwood Valley Valdiguié 2019

Tart cranberry and cherry flavors and racy acidity. There was also a sour, yeasty component on the back palate that was slightly redolent of sourdough bread. Interesting. Nonetheless an enjoyable bottle for all its funkiness. 100% Valdiguie. 7/4/22. — 3 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Very different than what we usually drink. On the nose I get dusty & musty with my old dark fruit. On the pallet it confirms the dusty and musty but with gentle dark fruit notes. Medium acid and low alcohol. Not sure what the sweet spot is for the wine but it’s really good. — 4 years ago
